Advance of Ten Per Cent to Take Effect Soon. MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 27. Within a very few days the price of lumber in this city will be boosted by the different dealers about 10 per cent. The advance includes all kinds of lumber from common rought to the most expensive finishing materials. The advance locally is in accordance with that put in effect over the en tire coast, the reason for the advance being assigned to the better demand for Oregon fir in the eastern markets and the improved outlook for the In dustry. Common, rough lumber, which has been selling for $15 a thousand feet, with now be advanced to $10.50. There will be a general advance all along the line most of the rougher grades being increased $1.50 a thou- , sand, while on the higher grades the advance will be even larger in proportion. On the whole, the raise I will average at least 10 per cent. The lumber industry of this state, which has been In the doldrums for the past four months, shows great improvement. Four months ago there was no demand in the east for Oregon fir, but today all mills are 'oaded with orders, and, with the constant increase in the demand from the east, manufacturers are turning their attention from the local field to the eastern markets and are not nursing the retail trade here to the extent they have been, while the east ern markets have been dormant. Lumber manufacturers of the city are jubilant over the better tone of the market and the activity of the Oregon lumber trade in the east.

TOBACCO HABIT GROWING. 55, 102,000,000 Cigarettes Smoked in America in One War. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. There were 55,402,330,113 cigarettes smoked In the United States during the last fiscal year, according to gov ernment statistics just issued 25, 000,000 is perhaps a fair estimate of the number of men and boys in this country 'Who smoke tobacco. So, on the average, each smoker consumed 22 1G cigarettes last year, or Cy4 a day, the fraction representing the very small butt a cigarette smoker throws away. Butofthe25, 000,000 smokers, many million smoke cigars or pipes, and some smokers roll their own cigar ettes, so the average each cigarette smoker consumes each day must be much more than G1. Tho government statisticians are very proud of their accuracy in car rying out a figure so high as fifty five billion four hundred millions to the very last number 13. Perhaps there is a, warning to cigarette smok ers In these last two figures. Any how, the cigarette habit Is growing tremendously In this country. WOMEN WANT TO VOTE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Dr. Char les Stelnmetz, consulting engineer ot the General Electric Company at Schnectady and professor of elec trical engineering at Union College, painted a doleful picture recently of what life" will be In the world when the coal supply has been ex hausted, and when tho natural fer tility of tho soil has been used up and when tho population has largely Increased. And he thought that ul timately the people of the earth would have to depend on it to refer tllizo tho earth for food and clothing to keep people alive. Dra. Stelnmetz spoke in the hall of tho American Institute of Elec trical Engineers to tiTe'sfudents and. frlonds of tho New York Electrical Trade School. "You who sit in this room," ho said, "will see the time when there will be no more hard coal. You may see the time, too, when supplies ot soft coal are so far removed that they won't bo worth while bringing to the people; it can't last very long. And there Is a possibility that some day people will wako up to the fact that soft coal poisons the atmosphere. Then they may prohibit it. But it can't be a very great while before wo must seek for means other than coal for keeping us warm. Wood has long slnco been discarded, and coat must be. What next? "It seems to mo that our best hope Is electricity. But we must havo power for that. With coal out of tho question, where Is the power to como from? Tho solution of tha problem seems to be our natural water power, of which wo use so very llttlo now."
